The Solicitors dog.
Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2013 10:57 am
A solicitors dog, running about off lead runs into the local butcher shop and steals a steak off the counter. The butcher goes to the Solicitor's office and asks, "if a dog, runs into my shop, steals a piece of meat from my store, do I have a right to demand payment for the meat from the dog's owner?"
"Absolutely," the solicitor responded.
The butcher immediately replied, "Good! You owe me £10.99 for the steak your dog stole from me this morning."
The solicitor, without a word, writes the butcher a cheque for £10.99.
A few days later, the butcher, browsing through his mail, finds an envelope from the lawyer.
The contents reads...... "Consultation fee: £125.00."
